According to a report, Armstrong admitted doping to win the Tour de France in an interview with Oprah Winfrey that will air on Thursday.

We hate what he did, cheating to win seven Tour de France titles. We hate that he covered it up for so long, when everyone but seemingly Armstrong knew the truth.

Now, we have the words, the admittance and hopefully an apology for allowing us to believe in him, in magical comebacks and that someone could kick cancer in its rear, then be the best athlete in the world. Drugs-free.

It was a dream. It's not reality.

Last year, Armstrong was stripped of all seven of his Tour de France titles. We were stripped of the truth for so long, and now we have it.

I wanted to believe Armstrong wouldn't put foreign substances in his body after the days-long chemotherapy that ravaged his body. A man so lucky to be alive was so desperate to win that after cheating death he cheated us.

We can finally move on, another comeback story we so badly wanted to believe in ended in shattered hope. With so many allegations and former teammates coming forward, we already knew he lied. But it's best to hear it from the cheater's mouth.

The ''It's not about the bike'' book he co-authored can officially be thrown in the trash, a tearjerker tale that is fiction not fact. It's all based on lies.

It's not about the bike. It's about the drugs. The lies. And finally, the truth.
